I was Kullman's Garden Ctr and they were selling rock called Ocean Rock for ponds, looked very similar to LR forms. Pieces were priced individually but guessing on the weights probably selling for ~$3/lb.

Or this rock from Bulk Reef supply. Very good size pieces for a great price and they have flat rate Import fee's. I paid to my door 192.00 for 50pounds. That was with shipping and fee's etc. So works out to 3.80 a pound shipped.

I would stay away from lava rock. I hear that it can leech impurities

I would aso stay away from Tufa, it traps detritus and can become a cyano factory very quickly.

Thanks for the suggestions and warnings about certain types of rock! Think I'll be checking into the Caribsea and the "Bulk Reef Supply" rock, and take it from there.

Thanks again for all the input!
